1. There is much evidence to suggest that King Richard I (the Lionheart) was a homosexual.
There is a possibility that he met his wife Berenegaria while in a sexual relationship with her brother, the future KingSancho VII of Navarre.
2. One of the earliest versions of the London Bridge was destroyed in 1014 when the Saxons rowed up the Thames, tied ropes to it, and pulled it down!
3. England used to be the native home of Brown Bears, but they became extinct around the 11th century.
In latter parts of the Middle Ages, the bears were imported into England for sport.
4. It was not uncommon in England during the medieval period for animals to be put on trial for crimes.
Animals could be sentenced to death if found guilty of their crimes.
5. In the middle ages, people would often keep coins in jars or pots made of pygg -- these were called "pygg jars".
By the 18th century, with the evolution of language, these came to be known as a "pig bank" or "piggy bank".
6. Contrary to popular belief, medieval English people bathed quite regularly in public baths designed for that purpose.
This was due to the belief that "cleanliness is next to Godliness".
7. The Barber's pole symbolizes blood and bandages, as most barbers also performed the roles of surgeons and dentists in their towns.
Bandages stained with blood would be washed and hung from a pole outside the barber's shop -- these would then twist in the wind to form the spiral pattern we are all familiar with today.
8. Prior to the introduction of surnames in England in 1066, everyone born had just one name, or a first name.
9. Most common folk had to produce their own food.
For this reason rye and barley bread was common amongst the poor who could not afford the large quantities of manure needed to grow wheat for white bread.
10. Contrary to popular belief, gargoyles were not added to Churches and buildings to ward off evil spirits -- they were drain pipes!
True gargoyles project out of a wall and rain water flows out their mouths away from the building, rather than down the side of the building causing damage.
11. In 1086, 10% of the population recorded in the Domesday Book (a large census) were slaves. In some areas, there were as many as 20%.

The medieval street of The Shambles, York (England). The Shambles (official name Shambles) is an old street in York, England, with overhanging timber-framed buildings, some dating back as far as the fourteenth century. It was once known as The GreatFlesh Shambles, probably from the Anglo-Saxon Fleshammels (literally 'flesh-shelves'), the word for the shelves that butchers used to display their meat. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. For more information about this beautiful street visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shambles

The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world – developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations. The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first industrialised nation.

England in the Middle Ages

England in the Middle Ages concerns the history of England during the medieval period, from the end of the 5th century through to the start of the Early Modern period in 1485. When England emerged from the collapse of the Roman Empire, the economy was in tatters and many of the towns abandoned. After several centuries of Germanic immigration, new identities and cultures began to emerge, developing into predatory kingdoms that competed for power. A rich artistic culture flourished under the Anglo-Saxons, producing epic poems such as Beowulf and sophisticated metalwork. The Anglo-Saxons converted to Christianity in the 7th century and a network of monasteries and convents were built across England. In the 8th and 9th centuries England faced fierce Viking attacks, and the fighting lasted for many decades, establishing Wessex as the most powerful kingdom and promoting the growth of an English identity. Despite repeated crises of succession and a Danish seizure of power at the start of the 11th century, by the 1060s England was a powerful, centralised state with a strong military and successful economy.

Crash Course

Plot

Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.

The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.

1. There is much evidence to suggest that King Richard I (the Lionheart) was a homosexual.
There is a possibility that he met his wife Berenegaria while in a sexual relationship with her brother, the future KingSancho VII of Navarre.
2. One of the earliest versions of the London Bridge was destroyed in 1014 when the Saxons rowed up the Thames, tied ropes to it, and pulled it down!
3. England used to be the native home of Brown Bears, but they became extinct around the 11th century.
In latter parts of the Middle Ages, the bears were imported into England for sport.
4. It was not uncommon in England during the medieval period for animals to be put on trial for crimes.
Animals could be sentenced to death if found guilty of their crimes.
5. In the middle ages, people would often keep coins in jars or pots made of pygg -- these were called "pygg jars".
By the 18th century, with the evolution of language, these came to be known as a "pig bank" or "piggy bank".
6. Contrary to popular belief, medieval English people bathed quite regularly in public baths designed for that purpose.
This was due to the belief that "cleanliness is next to Godliness".
7. The Barber's pole symbolizes blood and bandages, as most barbers also performed the roles of surgeons and dentists in their towns.
Bandages stained with blood would be washed and hung from a pole outside the barber's shop -- these would then twist in the wind to form the spiral pattern we are all familiar with today.
8. Prior to the introduction of surnames in England in 1066, everyone born had just one name, or a first name.
9. Most common folk had to produce their own food.
For this reason rye and barley bread was common amongst the poor who could not afford the large quantities of manure needed to grow wheat for white bread.
10. Contrary to popular belief, gargoyles were not added to Churches and buildings to ward off evil spirits -- they were drain pipes!
True gargoyles project out of a wall and rain water flows out their mouths away from the building, rather than down the side of the building causing damage.
11. In 1086, 10% of the population recorded in the Domesday Book (a large census) were slaves. In some areas, there were as many as 20%.

Time Team Digs 06 Medieval England (2002)

Tony Robinson and the team go back to re-examine some of their finest discoveries, looking at objects they have uncovered from the Medieval period.

Medieval Lives Episode 1/8: The Peasant

War of the Three Kings: Part One (Scottish History Documentary)

Robert the Bruce's invasion of English occupied Ireland in 1315 could have created a Celtic empire to challenge English dominance of the British Isles. This two part series explores one of history's most fascinating 'what ifs'.
In the first episode, Robert the Bruce's victory over the English at Bannockburn in 1314 did not put an end to Scotland's fight for independence. King Robert knew that his crown was not secure so he decided to open a 'second front' against the English and invade English occupied Ireland.
Robert and his brother Edward hatched an audacious plan - with the help of allies in Ulster they would unite the Scots and Irish in a powerful Celtic alliance against the English threat. In May 1315 a Scottish army landed in Ulster. The Bruce invasion looked like a great success.

English Architecture: Making England in the Shadow of Rome, 410-1130 - Simon Thurley

When the English nation rose out of the ruins of the Roman Province of Britannia, people remained obsessed with their Roman past. Seismic social and political change in 1066 barely upset the vision of patrons and architects and Rome remained England's cultural capital driving the imagination of its architects.
This is a part if the series of lectures, 'God, Caesar and Robin Hood: How the Middle Ages were Built':
The English Middle Ages saw the construction of some of the world's greatest buildings, structures that still shape our towns, cities and countryside and mould our national identity. These four lectures give a controversial new view of how medieval England was built starting with the departure of the Romans and ending with the Reformation.

The Gaelic Irish, disgruntled after 150 years of English oppression, would welcome the Scots with open arms. And at first, all went well - Edward was recognised as High King of Ireland by several leading Ulster lords. A formidable leader, he won a number of significant battles and captured English strongholds.
Was this the fulfilment of the widely believed prophecies of Merlin about a new King Arthur uniting the Celts?

YORK, the medieval and historic street of 'The Shambles' (England)

The medieval street of The Shambles, York (England). The Shambles (official name Shambles) is an old street in York, England, with overhanging timber-framed buildings, some dating back as far as the fourteenth century. It was once known as The GreatFlesh Shambles, probably from the Anglo-Saxon Fleshammels (literally 'flesh-shelves'), the word for the shelves that butchers used to display their meat.

1. There is much evidence to suggest that King Richard I (the Lionheart) was a homosexual.
There is a possibility that he met his wife Berenegaria while in a sexual relationship with her brother, the future KingSancho VII of Navarre.
2. One of the earliest versions of the London Bridge was destroyed in 1014 when the Saxons rowed up the Thames, tied ropes to it, and pulled it down!
3. England used to be the native home of Brown Bears, but they became extinct around the 11th century.
In latter parts of the Middle Ages, the bears were imported into England for sport.
4. It was not uncommon in England during the medieval period for animals to be put on trial for crimes.
Animals could be sentenced to death if found guilty of their crimes.
5. In the middle ages, people would often keep coins in jars or pots made of pygg -- these were called "pygg jars".
By the 18th century, with the evolution of language, these came to be known as a "pig bank" or "piggy bank".
6. Contrary to popular belief, medieval English people bathed quite regularly in public baths designed for that purpose.
This was due to the belief that "cleanliness is next to Godliness".
7. The Barber's pole symbolizes blood and bandages, as most barbers also performed the roles of surgeons and dentists in their towns.
Bandages stained with blood would be washed and hung from a pole outside the barber's shop -- these would then twist in the wind to form the spiral pattern we are all familiar with today.
8. Prior to the introduction of surnames in England in 1066, everyone born had just one name, or a first name.
9. Most common folk had to produce their own food.
For this reason rye and barley bread was common amongst the poor who could not afford the large quantities of manure needed to grow wheat for white bread.
10. Contrary to popular belief, gargoyles were not added to Churches and buildings to ward off evil spirits -- they were drain pipes!
True gargoyles project out of a wall and rain water flows out their mouths away from the building, rather than down the side of the building causing damage.
11. In 1086, 10% of the population recorded in the Domesday Book (a large census) were slaves. In some areas, there were as many as 20%.

War of the Three Kings: Part One (Scottish History Documentary)

Robert the Bruce's invasion of English occupied Ireland in 1315 could have created a Celtic empire to challenge English dominance of the British Isles. This two part series explores one of history's most fascinating 'what ifs'.
In the first episode, Robert the Bruce's victory over the English at Bannockburn in 1314 did not put an end to Scotland's fight for independence. King Robert knew that his crown was not secure so he decided to open a 'second front' against the English and invade English occupied Ireland.
Robert and his brother Edward hatched an audacious plan - with the help of allies in Ulster they would unite the Scots and Irish in a powerful Celtic alliance against the English threat. In May 1315 a Scottish army landed in Ulster. The Bruce invasion looked like a great success.
The Gaelic Irish, disgruntled after 150 years of English oppression, would welcome the Scots with open arms. And at first, all went well - Edward was recognised as High King of Ireland by several leading Ulster lords. A formidable leader, he won a number of significant battles and captured English strongholds.
Was this the fulfilment of the widely believed prophecies of Merlin about a new King Arthur uniting the Celts?

English Architecture: Making England in the Shadow of Rome, 410-1130 - Simon Thurley

When the English nation rose out of the ruins of the Roman Province of Britannia, people remained obsessed with their Roman past. Seismic social and political change in 1066 barely upset the vision of patrons and architects and Rome remained England's cultural capital driving the imagination of its architects.
This is a part if the series of lectures, 'God, Caesar and Robin Hood: How the Middle Ages were Built':
The English Middle Ages saw the construction of some of the world's greatest buildings, structures that still shape our towns, cities and countryside and mould our national identity. These four lectures give a controversial new view of how medieval England was built starting with the departure of the Romans and ending with the Reformation.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:
http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/making-england-the-shadow-of-rome-410-1130
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.

The first day/night Test in England saw Alastair Cook and Joe Root in the familiar position of rebuilding the innings after the West Indies made early inroads at Edgbaston on Thursday.

As expected, England dominated West Indies on Day One of the first-ever day-night Test on home soil.
